2 more Idaho coronavirus cases announced, brings total to 7

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho health officials say two more people have tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the total number of residents known to be infected with the coronavirus to seven.

One of the cases announced Tuesday was in a woman under the age of 50 in the Ada County region, and the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare said she had no known interactions with the other two cases previously identified in the area.

Still, officials believed her case was likely travel-related, and said she had mild symptoms and was recovering at home in isolation.

The other case was in the South Central Public Health region, in a woman over the age of 50. Investigators are still trying to determine how she contracted the illness, but said she was also recovering well at home. Officials did not release where in the region the patient was from. She's the third person in the district to be diagnosed with COVID-19.

Idaho's other known case is in eastern Idaho's Teton County.
